Small Bites: CityPlace Update

Jan 14th 2014

One thing no semi-urban retail complex can do and prosper is stand still. And at CityPlace they’re certainly keeping the wheels turning, with several new eateries opening recently and a couple more set to debut soon. Among the openings are:

Revolutions Bowling, Bar & Grille (477 S. Rosemary Ave., 561/203-6188), the posh entertainment center that took over virtually an entire block, cramming into its 35,000 square feet 20 bowling lanes, a games arcade, stage for live music, pool tables, VIP room, restaurant and bar. The lengthy menu is chock full of crowd-pleasing dishes from burgers, pizzas and pastas to lobster ceviche, fish tacos and grilled steaks.

Two more casual spots are also up and running. There’s another outpost of Moe’s Southwest Grill (460 S. Rosemary Ave., 561/659-0361), the Chipotle-esque fast-casual neo-Mexican eatery (that I actually prefer to the Chipotle Goliath). Also yet one more Auntie Anne’s (650 S. Rosemary Ave., 561/366-9582), purveyor of sweet and savory pretzels (and dipping sauces) and pretzel-wrapped hotdogs to hungry shoppers.

And there are two more places set to open. One is Copper Blues Rock Pub & Kitchen, a beer-centric restaurant and club with live music and all-American eats. More interesting is 100 Montaditos, a Spanish import that’s made a big splash in Miami and is expanding throughout South Florida. Montaditos are tapa-sized sandwiches that sell for from $1 to $2.50, everything from a basic serrano ham and olive oil to a more elaborate meatballs, bacon, Parmesan and marinara. And, yes, there are 100 of them.
